Un ensayo valiente sobre el origen de lo humano.

Todos somos crueles. En mayor o en menor medida, la crueldad habita en cada uno de nosotros. Disfrazada de las más diversas maneras, oculta detrás de distintos nombres, acecha desde el comienzo de los tiempos. Si los dioses fueron crueles, ¿qué nos queda a nosotros, simples mortales a merced de las tormentas de nuestra condición humana? ¿Hay salida de este laberinto?

Cynthia Wila decide hacer suyo el viaje al corazón de la noche, a ese lado brumoso de lo humano. El resultado de la travesía es un libro valiente, indispensable para entender no solo el porqué de las grandes tragedias de la historia, sino también las formas cotidianas que toma la crueldad en el presente de la mano de la tiranía de la belleza, la indiferencia, las nuevas tecnologías y el maltrato amoroso.

Con una fuerte influencia psicoanalítica y filosófica, sin dejar de lado el arte, el cine, la literatura y la música, La crueldad se nutre de lo mejor de la tradición ensayística para devolverle al mundo --a nosotros-- una melodía que lo haga algo más amable. Por eso, apela Wila, retomar ese vínculo casi olvidado entre ética y estética se hace hoy más necesario que nunca. Porque es restituirle valor a ese espacio entre el grito desesperado y el susurro lacerante en el que habita la palabra que calma. Es volver a mirarse a los ojos para reconocer en el otro --en nosotros-- ese universo infinito de luces, de sombras, que es, ni más ni menos, raíz y fruto de nuestro propio origen.

 

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

 

A courageous essay on the origin of the human condition.

 

We are all cruel. To a greater or lesser extent, cruelty resides in each of us. Disguised in diverse forms, hidden behind different names, it has lurked since the beginning of time. If the gods were cruel, what remains for us, mere mortals at the mercy of the storms of our human condition? Is there a way out of this labyrinth?

 

Cynthia Wila undertakes her own journey into the heart of the night, into that misty side of the human. The result is a bold book, indispensable for understanding not only the reasons behind history's great tragedies, but also the everyday forms cruelty takes today--through the tyranny of beauty, indifference, new technologies, and abusive love.

 

With a strong psychoanalytic and philosophical influence, while also drawing on art, cinema, literature, and music, La crueldad draws from the best of the essay tradition to return to the world--and to us--a melody that makes it a little more bearable. For this reason, Wila argues, reviving that nearly forgotten link between ethics and aesthetics is more necessary than ever. It means restoring value to that space between the desperate cry and the piercing whisper where the calming word resides. It means looking into each other's eyes again to recognize in the other--in ourselves--that infinite universe of light and shadow, which is, ultimately, the root and fruit of our own origin.

Comfortable and responsive
Style: Combo, Color: Black, Size: 1 Pack
The Logitech MK270 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo has been an amazing addition to my setup! The keyboard feels comfortable and responsive while typing, and the mouse works smoothly with no lag. I love how easy it was to connect — just plug in the USB receiver and it’s ready to go. The battery life is impressive, and the wireless range is great for keeping my workspace clean and organized. Perfect for work, school, or everyday use!

Perfect Mouse & Keyboard Combo!
Style: Combo, Color: Rose, Size: 1 Pack
I love this combo so much I bought one for home and one for the office. I’m very picky when it comes to a mouse and a keyboard. The clicking sound drives me crazy. This mouse is very quiet and the keyboard is easy to type on. I love that the keyboard includes shortcut keys (calculator, volume control, etc.) and they actually work unlike others. I also appreciate the windows key - makes it easy to lock your computer when you’re away. The color is so pretty! Absolutely love the shade of pink. Highly recommend this product! Logitech is hands down the best!

Reliable and lasts forever Best budget option
Style: Combo, Color: Black, Size: 1 Pack, Style: Combo, Color: Black, Size: 1 Pack
I had this same model a long time ago and it lasted forever, I only had to get a new one because I lost the USB receiver, so I know for a fact they are very durable. For the price, you can't beat the compatibility you just plug it in and it works instantly. The appearance is very simple, it's not the most attractive or pretty keyboard since it has no lighting or fancy features, but it's built to last. The noise level is fine for a membrane keyboard, not too loud. In terms of ergonomics, it feels comfortable enough for daily work and the color is just the standard black that goes with everything. The best part is the battery life, it lasts months without needing a change.

Very comfortable to use
Style: Combo, Color: Rose, Size: 1 Pack
This is a nice keyboard/mouse for the money. I ordered it in pink because it will help me to keep it separate from others I have. I have a tendency to forget which mouse goes with which keyboard. The color makes all the difference. In addition this works well and has a light up indicator for the caps lock which my older one does not. That was annoying to look up and see that everything was in caps by mistake. Good product.
